Ever since I caught my cat looking at Etsy seller schnabuble’s shop, I can’t get her to shut up about this Cat Battle Armor. She keeps meowing that she wants to go all medieval on mice and other small animals.

It is genuine Cat Battle Armor hand-made from durable veg-tan leather. Your cat will be the most feared cat on the block with this outfit. Its creator says that it is 100% wearable, flexible, and comfortable.

Cat armor isn’t cheap though. It will cost you $500 to make your kitty a knight of old. Totally worth it to see other people’s reactions as they see your cat about the neighborhood.

Silly me. I’ve been waiting all my life for a Jedi Master to show up and teach me how to build a lightsaber. Turns out all I needed was this infographic from electronics supplier Newark. Well, it will build you a lightsaber replica, not an actual lightsaber, but it is still awesome.

It just takes a few basic tools and pieces of hardware. Before you know it, you will be swinging away in a saber battle. This is a great way for people who are just getting started with projects like this to build something really cool.

Obviously, you can order the electronics you need from Newark. Build it and feel the power of the force!

It’s about time someone made this Disney Princesses and Star Wars mash-up happen. What makes it even more fitting is the fact that Disney actually owns the Star Wars franchise now. If they decided to do a Star Wars Princess edition, then I’m sure they could pretty much make it happen, although they’ll probably annoy a huge legion of fans on both sides of the fence in the process.

DeviantArtistRalph Sevelius ran with this concept in his latest works of art which feature Disney’s princesses dressed in Star Wars- inspired garb. There’s Jedi Ariel, Sith Elsa (pretty fitting, if you ask me), Padawan Rapunzel, and slave princess Jasmine.

My favorite from is the one of Aurora frozen in Carbonite. Given that she’s the Sleeping Beauty and all, well, I think the reference is pretty appropriate.

The Public Library of Brookline, Massachusetts recently built themselves an Awesome Box. The box is called the Awesome Box because it is full of awesome book suggestions.

All the book titles dropped off inside the Awesome Box are compiled and posted online to help other readers who are looking for some great books to read. To make the Awesome Box a bit more awesome, the library peeps painted it to look like Doctor Who’s TARDIS. The library workers were inspired by the 50th anniversary of the classic BBC sci-fi series.

The box also has a quote from The Doctor on the side that is very fitting for a library: “You want weapons? We’re in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!… The Greatest arsenal we could have. Arm Yourselves!”

One of the best things about Pokémon X & Y are the 3D models of the creatures. However the models are not to scale, despite the Pokédex clearly stating the height and weight of most Pokémon. Why? Because the disparity between their sizes is so severe. If they were made to scale, either some Pokémon would be practically invisible or, well, Wailord:

That image is the latest version of deviantART member DOTBstudios’ Pokémon size comparison poster. It contains all known Pokémon so far – including their Mega Evolutions if any – but it still has a number of mistakes. DOTBstudios will release a high resolution version of the image as well as sell a print of the poster as soon as he irons the errors out.
